The Museo Civico Archeologico came about as the result of several universities collections, which merged in 1881. It is home to one of the most comprehensive Egyptian collections in Europe, a rich Etruscan collection, and extensive Greek and Roman works.
Not a lot of people is aware that Bologna hosts one of the biggest Egyptian collection in Europe. Visiting this museum is a dive into the past, with Etruscan (which will reopen in 2019) and Greek collections. Curious to see a cat mummy?
